With the CSi BMW really turned out one of their finest
engines. A touch more tuning by Bosch Motronic expert Jim Conforti yields just a
little more punch from the big V12. Conforti altered the fuel and ignition
mapping to take advantage of premium fuel (91+ octane). Although the 850CSi is
required to run "premium" anyway, it is not optimized for it. Changing
these settings results in more power and a smoother-running engine.
